the blind schools saw a number of young

False Teeth in a Crematory Retort.
fCrema'o-y Exp,rtl

You can't destroy false set of teeth
in the retolt of a crematory. This |
deem one victory of art over nature.
Our own teeth we can reduce to ashes
with the rest of the body, but false
teeth and gold plate hold their own.
Silver plates or any other substance
used by dentists will disappear, but
1000 degrees of heat have been turned
on artificial teeth without destroying
them, and the gold rivets in the teeth,
after that heat has been applied, will
also be found intact.

NOTWITHSTANDING a heavy defeat,
in city and county, the prohibitionlsis
made a good fight. The county and
city campaign us managed by County
Chairman w. White, ably and faith
fully assisted by Nix. j. S. Hcthcring-
ton aud Judge Il. IL. West, was COM
ple,c. thorough aud satisfactory.
They represented party VINO
had no pecuniary interest at
stake and who were not governed by
any selfish motive; and the aid thcy
received in the way Of money, time
and work, while lbcrol in the eX'
tremc, and from truly generous hearts,
was quite insufficient to cope with the
party backed by all the saloons and
rich brewers and disiillers' assoc!a-
tons. They contended against great
odds, and the result, though
defeat, is encouraging to the
rrohibitionists. Capt. White lisa thor
ough business man aid full OF energy,
but not politician; christian gentle
man, modest and unassuming, gentle
as a woman, has had all the influences
that are the opposite of these virtues
to contend with; and it is really a
wonder that prohibition received the
vote that it did. Capt. White will
leave Monday morning for his annual
visit 10 the cotton mart of Europe,
Liverpool, to be gone one month. Inc
HEUALD wishes him pleasant voyage
aud safe return, after the healtbiul
recuperation his llborious work has
made necessary.

The HERALD can see where 900 or
600 illegal voters could have been pre-
vented by the prompt enforcement OF
its policy of arrcsting early in the day
of illegal voters, as in Fort Worth; we
can see where 600 or 700 illega. votes
were pollod in FL Paso, and possible
frauds OF equal magnitude in others
OF the cities Of Texas, and no doubt
others can see mistakes now after the
smoke of battle, but what OH it? Tho
fight is lost by overwhelming odds,
and the mere matter OF whether the
majority against the amendment is
is 10000 or $4,000 IL of little consc'
quence. The HERALD believes that
most of the Democrats who voted
against prohibition were induced TO
do so by the persuasion that
it would disrupt the Democratic
party. The country Democrats of
Texas arc the bone and sinew of the
State, and they will always do that
which they believe TO be right. The
HERALD only regrets that they could
not see it as we did. 1t is very clear
to us yet as has been all the time, and
we hope it is now as clear to the third
party prohibitionists, that whatever is
accomplished for prohibition in Texas
must be done through the Democratic
party.

at Fort Worth were promptly arrested

wholesome effect, and the anti vote
was several hundred less than it would
have been. Fort Worth stands alone
to be respected and honored in Texas
and throughout the country, as the
only large city which gave a majority
for right and morality against the
strong drink and immoral influence
of the liquor traffic.

The Doctor Got There.

A short time ago Bill Higgins, Frank
Rhoads, Arthur Miller and Others were
engaged in conversation on Second
and j streets. and strange enough, the
talk was of monumental liars they
had met. Rhoads had just finished re-
lating a whooping story he had heard
when Arthur Miller observed DR..
Butcher Morrison slowly perambulat.
ing down J street and remarked:
""Talk@ about your boss exaggeraJ-
ors, here comes n who is no SLOUGH.
When the doctor gets here | will tell a
whopper, and then observe with>what
ease and grace he knocks me silly"
When the doctor came, up Miller
turned to Higgins and said: "You
talk about it being hot here-why, it
amt a circumstance. I remember be-
ing in the southern part OF this state
once when it wasso hot that at a polk
err game they had to use small wood
en- rakes in pulling in the coin. and
finally the coin got SO Internally hot
that~they couldn't touch it at all, and
had to substitute ivory chips"
"That was purity burned hot" re-
marked the doctor, who had listened
attentively to Miller's story, "and it
reminds me OF a spell we had once on
the Missouri river which was the hot.
test season l ever see. l was working
at q camp in a. kitchen made of rough
boards, and we used to hang the tin
ware on nails driven into The wall.

thing left hanging on the nails except

licenses at one time he could get them
at reduced rates, but when he takes
them at long intervals, like you do,
it only amounts to retail business,

Sultan Selim's Mosque.

Sultan Selim's mosque at Adrianople
y the finest in the Moslem world.
A1een from a distance in the train, it's
srotund and four tall minarets make it
look to western eyes like a huge
gasometer, but, says a writer in The
London Times, it is worth while spend
ing a day at Adrianople if only to see
the inside of this marvellous building.
Since the Russians last came here and
stamped all over the place with their
muddy boots, the Turks are no longer
particular about requiring giaours to
90 in unshod. A servant brings capa-
tcious ~babouches, which you drag on
over your boots, and then you skate
respectfully over the exquisitely clean
cane mating which overs the entire
floor. The vast expanse of this Giro u
lar floor, the height of the dome. thu
countless painted arches and columns,
and the perfect stiffness of the place,
broken only by the splashing of a small
fountain into a marble basin produce a
strangely subduing effect. Thousands
and thousands Of colored oil lamps
hang in garlands from. the pillars and
walls, and when all these are lighted
up for q religious festival. and when
the floor can not be seen for the multi
tude of w%orshipers, all kneeling. with
their heads bent and their palms on
their thighs, the sight, as those who
have witnessed it say, is M never to
be forgotten. This mosque of Selim
has: 999 windows. and a thousand,
which is closed. The great sultan had
ordered a thousand windows, and,
when he heard that there was one
short, he sent for the architect and
stroked. his beard with an air which
BODIED no good; but the architect, who
deserved to live in the days of puff
advertisements, remarked that a
mosque with a thousand windows
would convey nothing of oddity to the
curious, whereas a mosque with 500
windows and one closed would set
people talking and wondering for ages.
The mosque has another legend con-
nected with a stone violet plant which
10 carved over its fountain. A poor
imam, who owned part Of the ground
over which the mosque is b~uilt,refused
ito sell his land unless a,violet which
had been planted by his wife was
allowed to bloom upon it. The sui
tan accepted the condition, and the
violet was carefully raiied in and tend
ia, but il time It died. and the soyer-
seign ordered that a fonatain should be
serected on the spot where it had bios
ssomed, and that q stone violet should
be carved upon it as q symbol Of mari
tai constancy.
